Word Sort Associative Learning Categorical Learning Learning that a certain object belongs to a particular groupCategory Defined by a number of features (i.e. cat = fur, vertebrate, warm- blooded) Operant Conditioning Learning that, in a particular situation, a certain behavior leads to a certain outcome Behaviorism Frequency of a behavior is influenced by the presence or absence of a rewarding/punishing event B. F. Skinner Designed experiment box to study operant conditioning Classical Conditioning Learning associations between objects Stimulus An object or event that you sense Unconditioned Stimulus (US) A stimulus that naturally evokes a response or reflex Conditioned Stimulus (CS) A stimulus that does not naturally evoke a response, but can acquire the ability to elicit the response Ivan Pavlov Developed experiment with salivating dogs

CATEGORICAL LEARNING A category is defined by a number of features. An object belongs to a category only if it has certain defining features. This object… … is a cat! Through categorical learning, the brain creates appropriate categories and can decide to which category belongs a certain object.

A QUESTION OF ETHICS In 1920, little Albert, an eleventh month old orphan, learned to fear a rabbit. Unconditional stimulus: loud noise. The noise is so loud that it causes a fear response. Conditional stimulus: little rabbit. The rabbit originally doesn’t cause a fear response. and But if you present simultaneously many times, then Initially, the sound causes fear… But not the rabbit … the rabbit also causes fear!

Suggested Revisions of Celest Software Change total number of trials from 18 to 20 (add 2 more trials to beginning) Place all three types of graphs on one page to make comparisons
